Minox 3D digital camera

Photokina report

Friday 24th, September 2010Posted by: Dennis Hissink

New Report Photokina - With the Minox PX3D, Minox has introduced a completely new camera concept study. What’s unique: the Minox PX3D opens a 3-dimensional photographic experience and renders the results in a fascinating and realistic quality - and that without special glasses or technical accessories. The viewer will be astonished alone by its outwardly puristic and reduced design, giving the Minox 3D digital camera a remarkably and completely innovative exterior. The four lenses situated vertically above each other add to its catchy design. Four camera modules contained within the Minox 3D digital camera, create 4 pictures simultaneously, each of which are located on slightly shifted perspective planes.

Minox 3D digital cameraAfter the exposure, the user can decide during playback between various possibilities: for an impressively realistic, spatial and moving 3D image - computed by the exclusively unique Minox software - or for a classic photo in JPEG format with 4x5 million pixels. The result in both cases is impressive. Fascinatingly real and dynamic - without the need for special 3D glasses or other technical accessories.

3D digital camera modulesThe distinct design of the Minox 3D digital camera has adhered to technological ideology and punctuates its future-oriented concept. Tidy and consistently reduced in its design vocabulary, the camera’s line management remains clear and straightforward. The next step is to extend the underlying concept of the Minox PX3D to 16 camera modules. The main advantage of this technology, in addition to the 3D effect, lies within the ability of each module to specifically select an individual exposure and focal point. This allows the user to decide and determine the priority between exposure and sharpness for each shot.

Minox PX3D 3D camera conceptThe concept behind the 3D digital camera from Minox involves a close and intense cooperation between Minox GmbH as developer of the camera and of 3D-Competence who has transferred its know-how from within the automobile sector to the development of specialised software for use with photographic technology. This new and comprehensive technology is patent protected and has already triggered the interest of cooperation from camera manufacturers, for which Minox is entirely open.

Minox 3D camera price & availabilityThe 3D camera concept introduced with the Minox PX3D digital camera is a further milestone for future developments by the traditional German manufacturer from Wetzlar on its way into the future. The Minox PX 3D digital camera is all about a concept study. Depending on market demand, a realization in the summer of 2011 is conceivable. The price of the Minox 3D digital camera will be approximately 500 Euro.
